Magazine review: Scale Aircraft Modelling Vol.36 #10 (Dec. 2014)

OK, I am getting caught up on these. As I type this news has come out that Jay Laverty has left as editor of SAM. I will be interested to see what effect this has on the magazine going forward.

This issue of SAM builds of a 72nd F-18, 2 UK F-4s, as well as a very attractive build of the fairly new AIrfix Blenheim Mk.I in Croat markings. The other builds are somewhat superficial, but the Blenheim is very nice and goes in to some detail. I only wish that it was longer and more detailed.

The feature article in this issue is on the Fokker DVII. It is a very nice article with some lovely color illustrations. I’l like to do a DVII one day, and it is one of the few aircraft that might tempt me out of 72nd scale.
